Officials say soon after church leaders discovered the fraud, the Brooklyn Congregational Methodist Church closed due to financial hardship and has not reopened.
During Friday’s sentencing hearing, the federal judge determined that Davis defrauded the church of $89,440.32. The judge ordered Davis to pay restitution to the church in that amount.
“The crimes committed by Ms. Davis victimized an entire faith community,” said United States Attorney Sandra J. Stewart. “The harm will continue to be felt for quite some time. I am hopeful that the sentence imposed will deter others from engaging in such deceitful conduct.”
